Software With Language Support
There are many basic software programs that recognize the extended language ability of OpenType fonts by allowing access to characters with Unicode assignments. These programs currently do not allow access to features like small caps etc.
Some Include:
Microsoft Office 2003 and up
TextEdit
Publisher
Keynote
Notepad


Software Not Supported
There exist several older software programs that display the first 256 characters of an OpenType font while ignoring the remainder of the character set. The Process Type Foundry does not support these programs with our OpenType fonts.
Not Supported:
QuarkXPress 6.5 and below
Adobe Illustrator 9 & 10
Macromedia Freehand - all
